    Hi Guys, I was wondering if is possible to have a email sent to admin and post author everytime a custom field value is changed.
    I have a very simple task status system and need to inform admin when author changes status and notify author when Admin changes status....
    Is it possible in metabox to have something very simple running?

    many thanks

    Hi Toni,

    WordPress fires an action hook when a meta is updated updated_{$meta_type}_meta. You can create a function and hook to the action to send an email when a meta updated.
